Abstract
A method for monitoring an electric power source changeover switch, including a step of identifying all of the combinations of operating modes and availability states of the power sources, a step of associating a configuration of a state of switches with each combination, a step of watching for a change in configuration. Upon a change in configuration, a step of controlling the switches is executed in order to place the switches in a state complying with the configuration. In the absence of a change in configuration, a step monitors the compliance of the configuration with the actual state of the switches. A method further including monitoring a source changeover switch implemented in a test device, and to a source changeover switch implementing such a method.
